Creating a Character

When you're just starting out, you'll want to create a character that lets you jump into the action fast. The character creation process in EVE can be a bit tricky if you're new, and you might end up with a character that isn't ideal for your trial period. For a hand with this, especially if you're looking for a template for your first main character, definitely check out the dedicated character creation guide.

Your Tutorial

Once you log in for the first time, EVE will guide you through a tutorial sequence, followed by a set of tutorial missions. Seriously, finish these! They're not just there to show you EVE's complex interface; they also give you a real taste of the many different professions you can pursue. Even if some missions feel a bit slow, stick with it. Your persistence will pay off with a standings boost for your faction and a sweet implant agent reward.

Choosing a Profession

After you've wrapped up your tutorial missions, it's time to start thinking about how you want to shape your EVE life. The professions guide is your best bet for exploring the different paths you can take and how to best invest your skills and time for the future.
